The Diary of Strawbridge Place


Review By Nathan:

This book is about a Quaker family in Ohio who host a station on the Underground Railroad.They go  through a lot in the time the book covers.  First, there son is shot then there's suspicion that they are harboring runaway slaves from unwanted people.  They also lose there barn in a fire in order to keep the slaves safe.  In the end, the slaves escape.  This would be a good book for around 6th graders.  The book does mention some human suffering (involving slaves and their shot son) but it is minimal.
